Get Startedtate law requires that an initiatory ballot proposal to amend a City Charter must be submitted to the state Attorney General and Governor for review prior to submission to the voters. Both the Governor and State Attorney General reviewed and disapproved the initiatory proposal to amend section 4.7 of the Walled Lake City Charter because it fails to comply with state law requirements, as determined by the state Attorney General. The proponents of the proposal disagrees with the Attorney General and Governor’s determinations. The proposed Charter Amendment proposes to abrogate City Council’s current authority under section 4.7 to employ the City Manager for an indefinite period of time and further proposes to effectuate the immediate termination of the current City Manager’s employment. The City Manager’s employment contract contains provisions for payment of severance benefits that include, but are not limited to, full payment of the City Manager’s $160,000.00 yearly salary through January 2025.
Shall Section 4.7 of the City Charter be amended to prohibit an individual from serving as city manager for more than 10 years in total, including any time accrued as city manager before the charter amendment takes effect?
